I have 22 years of experience in construction. With a strong background in finish carpentry and drywall hanging and finishing.

I am someone who is trying to start a business. I’ve been in and around the construction industry for 20+ years, mainly doing commercial residential construction. I want to build something of my own where I feel my work can be noticed. I travel anywhere within the greater Rochester region. I look forward to meeting with you. Thank you

"We had help with the design and the quality of workmanship was outstanding. A young member of their staff, Brian, did most of the work. His work ethic was unequaled. We couldn't be happier with the final result."

"It went very well, on time. They are determined to make sure that everything was done the way i wanted. They were very professional and I will definitely hire them again."

"We have been completely remodeling the main floor of our house for several months.  We have done everything ourselves up to this point, but I did not want to do the drywall myself because I simply don't have the time or experience to do a proper job.
Paul told us when he gave us the estimate that he is not the cheapest out there, but his estimate was very competitive with the others we received and he was available when we needed him.  I was a little skeptical that the job could be completed in 2 days, but Paul assured me that he has been doing this a long time and that it should not take more than 2 days.
The specifics of the job were:
Hang and finish new drywall on ~375 square feet of wall, consisting of three separate walls and parts of two others, and also wrapping the ends of several wall sections.

• Patch/repair several holes, mostly in the ceiling, including two long sections where we removed walls.
• Scrape and skim coat ~435 square feet of textured ceiling to make it smooth and blend with the rest of the ceiling.

Paul and his crew arrived on time on Monday morning and had all the drywall hung before lunch.  By the end of the day Monday all the taping and first coat of drywall compound was done, and the first coat of skim-coat on the ceiling.  On Tuesday morning they applied the second skim-coat to the ceiling and second coat to all the drywall seams.   After leaving for a few hours to let things dry, they returned Tuesday afternoon to sand everything, and then do a few touch-ups.  It was ready for priming by late Tuesday evening.  I was amazed at how quickly and professionally the job was completed.
Paul also returned on Friday to do a couple of quick touch-ups to small defects that we noticed after we had primed everything.  We are very pleased with how everything looks.  I should also mention that this is our kitchen/living/dining area and there were many electrical boxes, a door, a window, and plumbing to work around.  I am also an engineer and DIYer so I am pretty meticulous about things.  Paul really knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him.  He is also a very nice guy and his crew were very respectful.

"I want to start out by saying Doug and his sons are very pleasant and their workmanship is good. It became obvious we took a back seat to another customer, whom he referred to as his “bread and butter”, and he withdrew his commitment to do extra work, that we had agreed upon early at the onset of the job. My “finished” basement was left unfinished, doors and window were not trimmed out, like was discussed. Every day they showed up at 9:30 and left at 3:30 with a lunch break, never put in a full days work. The clean up was poor. We had our ceiling painted black (a whole other story), and after sanding, my husband had to go through and clean EVERY board and duct work to clear the white dust from the sanding of the drywall, One wall was completely covered in dust and all walls had to be cleaned before painting, although Doug said he would leave it “paint ready”. There was drywall mud was on the floor and top of the drywall. Doug knew we were having flooring installed the following week, so the floor should have been cleaned of debris, not just swept. I am very happy with the framing and drywall, but UNHAPPY with the “finish”. I felt like I was filling a void in their work schedule so they were readily available to start the job, and the when more work came in, I took a back seat. The last day they rushed through and were gone by noon, when some of my extras could have been fit and more attention to detail could have been given. My husband has some repairs to do as a result of their haste. Also I had to pay additional for materials because of poor estimating."
